Artist's Description

“We all want a revitalized Coney Island, but what they’re proposing would change the nature of a place that touched the hearts of millions of people,” said Charles Denson, executive director of the Coney Island History Project. “We all want to see improvements, but all those high-rises? That’s not Coney Island.”

Coney Island construction site—Wall art—dismantled and dispersed ;(((

Well, they haven’t totally vanished, not yet anyway. But what I’ve recently discovered is that they are now placed randomly next to ??? on another site, so the coherence of the way I found them is totally disrupted.I LOVED them at first sight and never realized they would be dispersed so soon. So..I’m sad I didn’t preserve all of them when I had the chance. Hindsight is 20/20 …;((Thanks for your thoughts, Bear. I do appreciate that others feel so strongly about them too.Peace,sass

I did , too, John. Many of my teenage and young adult memories are intricately wrapped up there.It is so sad to see what it has become, yet being an optimist, I do hope something good will come out of it.Will keep you posted. Until then, I want to say…thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts. It is good to know that I was not the only dreamer…Peace,sass

Welcome, Ms. Zoe..good to see you here and read your sweet thoughts.Yes, dismantled but not destroyed as far as I know. Though they are not what they were as they are now just put willy-nilly at another site with no thought for the stories these ‘boards’ told in their properorientations. They call it progress…we may call it whatever we choose or just sigh…May you walk in beauty and peace, zoe~sass

Thank you, Mad, for your thoughts. It is significant to find that others feel as I do about these works of art.
